A mum has been left fuming over a school's bathroom policy after her daughter suffered period accidents. Manchester Evening News reports that the toilet rules at the high school prevent students from using the facilities during lesson time.
The unnamed woman says her child attends St James' Catholic High School in Greater Manchester. She claims that her daughter has had a number of period accidents in class because teachers have refused her request to go to the toilet.

The 35-year-old has been fighting the school for a long time over the policy. She says she has now pulled her daughter from education until the matter is resolved.
The mum said: "It's not healthy anyway making children wait for what can sometimes be a couple of hours. But also girls get their periods and on several occasions my daughter has had accidents because she's not been allowed to go.
"I'm absolutely fed up with my daughter being put in this situation. I've spoken to her doctor about it who said they don't consider being female a medical condition and they're willing to write to the school to say they don't agree with the policy.
"It's physical and mental harm. My
